HELP ME OVER COME MY Disappointment

There are ways around where Roehl hires from. I was told they would not hire from east of I - 95. I got creative. If you have family from somewhere that they hire, use that as your address.

I agree . . . when I first applied to Prime & Stevens Transport they both said California was not on their list at the time . . . I asked about Reno, NV and they said "Sure . . . " I have a Nevada license and I use my best friend's address for same (long story - former employer wanted it that way) and so I qualified - just had to make changes to my app. So there are creative ways around all obstacles . . . I think the objection of hiring from certain locations is being able to route your truck to your "home" area for time off . . . if they ain't going there, how can they route YOU there?? Anyway, you'll work it out - I got faith!

That's exactly right. So just keep in mind that when you say you live at an address that's different from your home address, that's the address you're going to be sent to for home time. They're not going to send you to your actual home. Now if the two aren't too far apart or you can make arrangements to get home, then you're fine. But for instance, if you say you live in Atlanta to get on with a company that doesn't hire out of Florida but you actually live in Jacksonville, you're never going to see Jacksonville unless you can get yourself there and back from Atlanta.
